Sporties Hotel

Sporties Hotel is a longstanding-style sports pub at the leafy end of Charles Street, in the heart of Launceston’s café precinct. It brings together accommodation, a bar and a kitchen in one classic venue, making it a practical base for visitors who want to stay close to the city centre. The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre, the General Hospital and local attractions, with free off-street parking and Wi-Fi available for accommodation guests. The venue also has off-street parking at the rear for visitors using the bar and kitchen.

Upstairs, the accommodation is described as clean and comfortable, while downstairs is geared towards casual meals, drinks and socialising. The bar shows FOX Sports live seven days a week and includes a pool table, giving it a clear appeal for sports fans and groups looking for an easygoing place to meet. There is also a deck for enjoying a drink and a lunch setting beneath the trees, alongside lounge-bar seating for a more relaxed visit.

Sporties Kitchen focuses on fresh local produce, wines and familiar pub cooking. Its menu caters to a range of tastes with burgers, parmi-style dishes, steaks and vegetarian options. Regular weekly features include a Pint & Parmi on Mondays, a Burger & Schooner on Wednesdays, and a Pot & Porterhouse on Thursdays. The venue says its parmi menu changes regularly, with variations including traditional, Hawaiian, Italian, nacho and Meatlovers styles. Menus and specials are updated from time to time, so checking the venue’s current listings or social pages is sensible before visiting.

The venue is set up for different kinds of occasions, from a solo meal or a drink while watching live sport to birthdays, office gatherings, family get-togethers and larger groups. Its casual dining approach and mix of indoor and outdoor areas make it suited to an uncomplicated lunch, dinner or night out rather than a formal occasion. Sporties also runs local events and entertainment, with updates shared through Facebook and Instagram. With a 4.2 Google rating from 608 reviews, it is a well-established option for staying, eating and meeting in Launceston.
